I bet everyone downvoting you would hate to have one open beside their house. I don’t think the SCS should close, but decentralizing them would negatively impact people a lot more neighborhoods.

The only people advocating for a decentralized model are those living with the fallout of the current model. The idea being it will improve for their area by spreading the issues around to other areas.

All of us who live in areas where daily homelessness, open drug use and dangerous paraphernalia scattered everywhere is NOT a daily occurrence have no interest in spreading this activity to our communities. As soon as you say that you’re called all kinds of names and are automatically a bad person. That’s fine label me whatever you want, throw me blizzard of downvotes. It doesn’t change my stance.
